There’s a new little spider on the wall in front of me in my office. Love seeing it wandering around.

Eh, they’ll come out eventually, announced by my wife or kids calling for help, then watching at safe distance as I scoop them up and put outside. 😄

I also have a spider in the window in front the desk in my home office. My wife has a massive spider phobia, but since she doesn’t come in my office much, I’ve been able to bargain for this spider’s life for almost half a year now. I call him Albert.

Is that a jumping spider?

They get a pass from me. Certifiably not creepy critters.

what did you name the spider?

we named all the spiders Gary. we told the niblings that we had a capital P Pact with the spiders, that we were kind to the spiders and they were kind to us. That they kept us safe from the bugs. All they had to do was eat all the bugs, especially the ants and the earwigs and the centipedes especially the ones that look like your eyelashes that want to drink your tears that heebie my jeebies, and stay out of the bathroom or toilet or or shower or pretty much anywhere where i’ve got my buttholes out i don’t care what you call it those eyelash ones ew.

keep me safe gary.

[yes i know about the eyelash ones]
